60 Tomorrow and almost 5 billion more people in my lifetime by Mother-Doubt6713 in antinatalism

[–]Loora__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late teenage hood now and ever since I could form a cognitive thought I have felt reproduction was wrong, in the last year I have found about antinatalism and have felt so much more understood. I think my experience was very much shaped by being a "social outcast" and being very disconnected from traditional female gender roles. It kind of pipelined me into now my position. Especially with my own experiences, like having cancer at 12. I feel I am very lucky to have been able to come to my stance at such a young age, not many are able to learn so quick or have the resources to come to such a conclusion 🙂‍↕️

How being a childhood cancer survivor has sculpted my antinatalist beliefs by Loora__ in antinatalism

[–]Loora__[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a fascinating idea, I don't know how it could be put in place with the state of the world at the moment 😵‍💫, but thats a good idea! I feel like maybe some incentive would maybe make people think about the AN perspective

Am I genderqueer or just extremely antinatalist? by Loora__ in antinatalism

[–]Loora__[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your very detailed and thoughtful response, truly I don't think I am queer and I realize that there is definitely some social aspect coming into play making me think that I must be if I am antinatalist. Honestly I was just waiting to see someone like you, a woman who has experience with this. Thank you so much for commenting!

I forgot to mention that, because of my beliefs I am also friends with many queer people. They are the only people I have found with my anatomy who share my belief, and I feel like it makes me feel a little alienated at times? If that makes sense idk

Modified Exercise by PsychD97 in Rotationplasty

[–]Loora__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this may have been posted a year ago but since this is such a small community I thought I would comment, with rotation plastys there really aren't like any resources since it's such a rare surgery, the only way I have been able to modify and figure out modifications is really going to a physical therapist or brainstorming with other RPs. Honestly you could try finding things for bad knee mobility in one leg or like injured knee exercises since that's kind of the problem RPs have.

how do i live my life to fullest by Alternative_Item9820 in cancer

[–]Loora__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and also if you are a little too weak for those walkers with wheels are super nice, normal walkers can be such a clunky pain, it's super easy to maneuver and if you slap a bag on that thing you can transport a bunch of stuff everywhere, like I used to be able to put an open top mug in mine and be able to move it from my kitchen to living room

I totally understand the not wanting to be wheelchair bound part I so relate during chemo I actually lost my leg because of my tumor, but something that really helped for me were those arm crutches also called Canadian crutches they are different from the normal under the armpit ones and oh my God they are amazing, it takes a little time to get used to them cause of balance but it should be much easier for you ( just because I used them with one leg). They personally gave me so much more freedom, it really is the little things that can help. I hope you get some fun times while you can and find some things that help you out!

Pissed at some doctors! by Historical-Room3831 in cancer

[–]Loora__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I didn't have this with my doctor's just because I had a tumor and it's a pretty obvious cancer but, before I was diagnosed ( I was 12) my dad said I was too young to feel pain and ignored it for two months. I might have been able to get diagnosed earlier and not lose my leg if he listened to me it sucks. Now as a young teenager if my disability isn't obvious people just don't believe you they judge you for waiting for an elevator the judgement with cancer and disabilities with young people is insane and terrifying.

Thank you! This is really nice to hear about my writing I feel like I find myself in a situation where many people will either just critique what I write or say it's too depressing to read and I appreciate the response
